Percepto

The World's Most Innovative Companies 2016
Percepto is an Israel-based startup that helps drones "see" with the company's proprietary camera and software. Percepto has developed a camera that can be attached to a drone and then updated or altered through various apps. One of Percepto's earliest apps allowed users to focus the camera's lens on a specific object while other apps, developed through open source app technology, allowed other tools for the drone (like one that helps avoid collisions). So far, the company has earned the support of key investors, including entrepreneur Mark Cuban and former Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons.
